The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for September 20, 2021

Small dogs make a lot of noise to make sure no one steps on them by accident.

They have to overcompensate.

If small dogs drove cars they’d buy overpowered and oversized trucks.

Dogs and men. There used to be a term “little guy syndrome” for small argumentative people.

Blazer was a pit/greyhound cross – not huge, but he weighed about 75-80 pounds. We have a friend who has a King Charles Spaniel – tiny little thing. Every time the KCS saw Blazer she would bark and snarl, and Blazer would just stare at her, with a “what the heck is this?” look on his face.

I had a 18 pound poodle which in an earlier life must of been a pit bull. That little dog at the age of 18 years, would take on the 120 pound german shepherd. That poodle had that dog so scared of her, that the only thing she had to do was look out the front door to get that german shepherd running home.

Chihuahuas are the worst. There was one that laid in ambush on my morning walks, twice he ran out after I passed and attacked my ankle, drawing blood the second time. On the third time I was waiting and I turned and punted him. He never bothered me again.

“Big dogs in little dog suits”

When you’re that size you have to believe in yourself.

Toy Manchester Terriers! My 11lb boy can quietly make a Great Dane back down. He knows he’s the Alpha in any situation, but sweet and classy at the same time! And not yappy!

They’re rats that bark…..

Big dogs usually think of small dogs as puppies and are confused as to why the small dog does not behave like a puppy.

Napoleon complex.

Mafia types!

Have Chihuahua/Italian Greyhound now 8.7# that will instigate fights with/between other dogs then back out and let the others do the fighting.I intend to pass on any future dogs with Chihuahua in them. So many other breeds & mix breeds to choose from that don’t take 3 times longer to train.Still love her though.Hope Game guy 49 just used his foot to lift and launch the little biting dog rather than actually kicking.And yes talk to the owners! No dog should be allowed to bite.
